Consider a situation where a cart carrying five boys is moving without friction due to inertia along a straight horizontal road, with a speed of 10 m/s. After travelling certain distance a boy jumps from the cart with a speed of 2 m/s with respect to cart in opposite direction to it. Then, second boy jumps with the same speed w.r.t. the cart, but in a perpendicular direction to the cart. The mass of the cart is 100 kg and mass of each boy is 20 kg. Answer the following questions. The speed of the cart after first boy has jumped out is
